NexTag Announces Rate Changes Effective June 16, 2010
Side by side comparison of old rates to new (click to enlarge):
A rate hike in the summer is not as common as one during the winter when sales pick up. Merchants will have to increase conversion rates in order to sustain their ROI.
We’ll keep an eye on how these new rates affect merchant campaigns and if other Comparison Shopping Engines follow suit.
As a positive, NexTag announced the addition of 19 new categories to their website.
